This directory contains files generated by NODC with ancillary information
about the data submission.

AAAAAAA_lonlat.txt - Station locations for these data.  Each row contains the
                     geographical position for a station (longitude in the left
                     column and latitude in the right column, both in degrees).
                     AAAAAAA is the NODC Accession number for these data.

AAAAAAA_map.jpg - Station location map for these data.

0-email.txt - E-mail from JAFOOS/BOM notifying NODC that the file, which contains XBT data
              collected during 2004, are ready to be downloaded and archived.

                       file exchanges.

BOM2004_codes.txt - Definitions of codes used in each data file.  Also,
                         includes count (number of times that a code is used in

                         Profile Program), and value (the codes that are used
                         in data file).

BOM2004_sum.txt - Summary of statistics for each data file.  Includes
                          geographical bounding box of data, number of stations,
                          counts of stations by data and profile types, number of
                          profiles, number of profiles that are neither salinity
